Liam Broady plays his first Futures event outside the UK and is seeded to qualify. The other 3 players in his section are unranked, but one (Nick Van Der Meer) was inside 500 for a number of years
QR1: James Chaudry UNR v Kristof Lybeer (BEL) UNR QR1: (q4) Liam Broady WR 1424 v Michel Kapteijns (NED) UNR
That's a horrid draw for Liam. Van der Meer has a CH of 342. (The top ranked player in the main draw is 339). He was out of action from July 2009 to July 2010, hence him being unranked.
Great win for James who has a winnable round 1 (though his opponent did beat Alex Ward in the same event last year), but as feared Liam lost
QR2: James Chaudry UNR beat (q3) Dominik Pfeiffer (GER) WR 1288 4-6 7-6(3) 7-5 QR2: (q4) Liam Broady WR 1424 lost to Nick Van Der Meer (NED) UNR 2-6 4-6
R1: (Q) James Chaudry UNR v (WC) Germain Gigounon (BEL) WR 1331
